CVE-2026-98504

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI: of_property: Omit bus properties without a subordinate bus

A bridge (a device with a Type 1 header) may not have a secondary bus
allocated (pdev->subordinate), e.g., if there are no available bus numbers
or the bridge secondary/subordinate bus numbers are not writable.

The dynamic OF helpers of_pci_prop_bus_range() and of_pci_prop_intr_map()
dereference pdev->subordinate without checking it.  When
CONFIG_PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES is enabled, this can cause a NULL pointer
dereference and early boot hang.

Generate 'bus-range' and 'interrupt-map' properties only when a subordinate
bus exists.  Keep the node and its remaining properties for bridges without
one.

The problem was latent since 407d1a51921e ("PCI: Create device tree node
for bridge"), but wasn't reachable until 1f340724419e ("PCI: of: Create
device tree PCI host bridge node"), which appeared in v6.15.  Before
1f340724419e, of_pci_make_dev_node() returned early because the parent OF
node was missing.
